I Become Baby Mafia Boss
Chapter 176 - "He's An Otherworldly Summoner?!"
Ainsley's mind spun around, and she couldn't help but look at Grandpa Yofan to explain things.
To her surprise, Grandpa Yofan also revealed a trace of shock before regaining his calm.
"Alvaro, huh. Are you a Sloan Family member since birth, or..?" The old man calmly asked the purple-haired guy while cautiously examining him.
After all, if he's really the Sloan Family's illegitimate descendant, things would be complicated. He could very likely become Ainsley's rival!
However, Alvaro's answer once again surprised Grandpa Yofan and the baby.
"No, I'm not. I joined the Sloan Family when I was 10, " Alvaro answered with his cold voice devoid of any warmth.
According to this guy, he was an orphan until he awakened his first ability, the otherworldly beast summoner, which was pretty rare.
At that time, the Sloan Family was still in good condition, so they managed to rope him in and heavily nurtured the guy until he became one of the five buds.
To be honest, all members of five buds weren't from the Sloan Family's descendants. The branch families and the direct descendants had their own geniuses gang, but it wasn't official and was only for appreciation.
To be one of the five buds, they had to be neutral, have no ties to any branch families or the main family that rules the Sloan Family at their generation.
This was why the five buds were all recruited ever since they were children and lived in the Sloan Family to pledge loyalty to their family head when they grew up.
In fact, every family head owned different 'five buds' from generation to generation.
If the previous five buds didn't acknowledge the family head of their generation, they could choose to disband after serving the family or occupy another position in the family.
The previous 'five buds' belonged to Ainsley's dad generation, and only two of them pledged loyalty to Ainsley's dad while the other three decided to serve in the family military.
Two of them became the current 9 great generals, and the last member left the Sloan Family to work for the Billios Casino.
Thus, after the period to pledge loyalty to the newly-crowned family head ended, the family adopted another bunch of outstanding orphans to become the new five buds.
Those chosen for this generation were these five, and they became the 18'th 'five buds' the moment Ainsley was born, which was 3 years ago.
Usually, the five buds would acknowledge their master when their master was 18 because that's when the direct descendants became the new family head.
However, who would have known that this generation's family head was only 3? There's still a long way until she becomes 18!
When Ainsley became 18, these people would already become middle-aged youngsters and would step down from their 'five buds' position the moment they chose to pledge loyalty to the family head or left the family.
Thus, for Ainsley to meet the five buds this early...it's a blessing.
At least, she had 15 years to make these people pledge loyalty to her, while the other family heads in the past only have 8 years or less because they only met the five buds when they were 10 or older.
When Grandpa Yofan finished listening to Alvaro's explanation, only then he sighed in relief.
"So, your purple hair is just a coincidence, right? You're not the Sloan Family's direct descendant?"
"Indeed, milord. This one is an orphan since birth...and I'm 19 this year. I can't be the Sloan Family's descendant." Alvaro nodded, and his ponytail swayed behind his back.
When Alvaro admitted this fact, Ainsley also let out a long sigh.
Thank God she doesn't need to face another family drama…
Speaking of other Sloan Family' descendants, Ainsley had never seen her cousins or children around her age at the branch families. Maybe that's why she didn't feel threatened that someone around her age would take her seat.
Her only worry was only the adults!
"Okay, Alvaro, now tell us your abilities." Grandpa Yofan cut Ainsley's thoughts as he glanced at the baby, making sure she's not shocked or anything.
Well, Ainsley didn't look shocked and only kept her sweet smile as she looked at Alvaro, admiring his pretty purple hair.
Alvaro was silent all the time and only opened his mouth when Grandpa Yofan asked him.
"My abilities are...invisibility, poison master, and otherworldly beast summoner."
His answer sounded good in the first few words, but his three words almost made Ainsley fall from her seat.
Otherworldly beast summoner? A super-rare summoner type?!
The word 'otherworldly' was like a nightmare to her because Cellino said that among the summoners, the otherworldly soul or spirit summoners could see through her secret!
What about this otherworldly beast summoner? W-would he also discovers her secret?
Ainsley instantly broke in a cold sweat. She glanced at Cellino under her feet, and the wolf-like cat looked up.
[What's wrong, master? Why is your face so pale– ]
[Will Alvaro discover my secret? He's an otherworldly summoner!] Ainsley cut in and immediately urged Cellino with her gaze.
She truly couldn't keep her calm, and her heart already leapt to her throat. Sweats dripped down her forehead, about to slide to her chin.
[Ah? Otherworldly beast summoner? He won't see your secret, master. Even though he's an otherworldly summoner, he's not a soul-type summoner…]
Cellino hurriedly explained to Ainsley and affectionately rubbed his head against her feet, trying to calm her down.
[If someone can see your secret, the Godfather spirit will notice it first, and he will tell you, master!] Cellino added.
Ainsley's anxious heart instantly calmed down at the explanations. The baby almost slumped down to the throne.
Thank God...I thought I'd be in danger!
